Madlands, by Rosemund J. Handler (Used)

By (author): Rosemund J. Handler.

Carla Jensen is bright, generous, beautiful and bipolar. A natural rebel who distrusts both her diagnosis and her medication, she is struggling to keep her balance when she witnesses a random act of street violence. The confrontation that follows sets her on a mission to stand up for society's outcasts, and on a personal search for healing that leads through the world of troubled minds and into the hidden sorrows of her own family, above all those of her mother, Anna. A compassionate South African novel that finds humour and joy where others see only pain.
